Taillights work? Bulbs are good? My blinkers and reverse lights didn't work last night, but it was just a fuse (both are on same fuse).

I agree. He said he checked the wires though.

welcome to FTE!

if you fix the brake and blinker, but the reverse lights still don't work make sure that the wire is plugged in under the hood.
